Answer 2

The Midnighters series, containing three books, The Secret Hour, Touching Darkness, and Blue Noon. They're about the world having 25 hours instead of 24, but the twenty-fifth is trapped in a single second, where only a few teens from the town of Bixby, Oklahoma who were born at midnight can move around, while everyone and everything else remains frozen. But the secret hour isn't empty....



Also, the Uglies series. It takes place in the future, where people go through a surgery at age 15 that makes them "pretty." But there are people out there who don't want to become pretty... and besides, being pretty comes with a price that not many people realize they have to (and do so without knowing) pay....

The series constists of the books Uglies, Pretties, Speicals, and Extras.

Both the Uglies series and Midnighters series are written by Scott Westerfeld.



The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins. Every year there is a drawing for two children from each of twelve cities to take part in the Hunger Games, a fight for survival in the wild against one another, where there can only be one winner. The Hunger Games is a trilogy, I believe, but only the first book is out. The second book, Catching Fire, will be available in September 2009.



The Host, by Stephenie Meyer, is a heart-wrenching, science fiction, romance story. Our world has been invaded by unseen beings, who take control of our bodies and live our lives. Only a few humans remain hidden. Melanie Stryder, when she is captured, refuses to fade away when the "Host," Wanderer, is given her body. Melanie instead gives Wanderer sad memories of promises she made to loved ones, and heartfelt experiences. Together they must work as a team to fine the people they've left behind, and the man they...both... love.

Answer 4

"Story of a Girl" and "Sweethearts" by Sara Zarr.



OR



Try "Painting Caitlyn" by ME! (Kimberly Joy Peters).



It's on both the 2007 American Library Association's YALSA Quick Picks list and the 2008 International Reading Association's Young Adult Choices list with "The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas", and a lot of other great books.



Both of of those lists are great places to help you find good books, all chosen by teen readers.



Caitlyn is a fifteen-year-old girl whose world is changing. Her mother and stepfather are expecting a baby together after years of infertility, and Caitlyn, who was herself “accidentally” conceived while her mother was in college, worries about her new role in the family. She’s also been growing apart from her best friend, Ashley, ever since Ashley found a steady boyfriend. When Caitlyn is introduced to Tyler, it seems that he is the perfect match for her -- handsome, sweet, and desperately in love with her, he sweeps her off her feet. But Tyler has another side – one that’s jealous and controlling, and which draws Caitlyn further away from her family and friends, and, ultimately, herself.

Answer 5

A Girl Named Disaster by Nancy Farmer

Answer 6

Uglies series by Scott Westerfeld

This is an extremely good book. It's hard to explain but it's about the future, after mankind basically destroyed the earth (global warming, destroying forests, polluting the ocean, etc) survivors made a new society where there's no argueing, war, etc. Everyone is considered "ugly" until they turn 16 and have this sugery that makes them "pretty" and they move to this part of town where all they do is have fun and party all day and night. Tally, the main character cant wait to turn pretty. She meets Shay who's a rebal and convinces Tally to leave the city for a night to see what's out in the wilderness. Tally learns all kinds of things about being pretty and the truth is.. it's not really pretty. EXTREMELY good, and the sequals (Pretties, Specials) are even better. It's full of adventures, cool technologies, romance, etc. There's also a fourth book from another perspective and it's set in Japan called Extras.



The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

This book is also set in the future and is extremely intense like you're actually in the book. It's setting is in Panem, a city that's now in what's left of North America (which has become smaller after global warming and melting of the ice caps). Surrounding Panem are 12 districts where each year, one boy and girl between the ages of 12 and 18 are chosen to be in the Hunger Games where they are put into an arena and battle each other and try to survive until there's only one left and is the winner. There's also romance in it and gets kind of sad. I cried at one point. haha but it's really good. Stephanie Meyers, author of Twilight, even recommended it.



Deadly Little Secrets by Laurie Stolarz

It's the first of it's series and is also really good. It's about a girl named Camelia who lives a normal life - dating, has friends, decent grades. But, one day when she was picking an earing that she dropped crossing the street, a car was coming towards her and it wasn't stopping. Suddenly, a hot guy shoves her out of the way, saving her life. He left without her saying thank you or asking what his name was. Three months later, she's starting her junior year in high school and there's this rumor about a new guy named Ben who supposedly killed his girlfriend. Camelia doesn't believe in rumors and when she sees Ben, it's the guy who saved her life. She tries to talk to him but he ignores her at first, but later Ben begins touching her weirdly but Camilia only gets more drawn to him. She later finds out he's not ordinary. He can know the future or past of a person by touching a person and he senses that Camelia's in great danger. Really intense but good with a twisted love triangle.



I've read twilight and loved it but i thought these books were almost as good or even better.



Other books I've heard were good and planning to read is Need by Carrie Jones, Evernight by Claudia Gray, Lament by Maggie Stiefvater, Beastley by Alex Flinn, Old Magic by Marianne Curley, Elsewhere by Gabrielle Zevin, the Blue is for Nightmares series by Laurie Stolarz, and Evermore by Alyson Noel (coming out in February)



I recommend Need by Carrie Jones if you really liked Twilight. I heard it was really similar but with werewolves instead of vampires. Even the guy, nick, is supposedly really "hot" haha. Some people told me they liked it better than Twilight too. So yeah.. you should check it out

Answer 7

Finally, someone with good taste in books! ^^

I would recommend to you the Bloody Jack series, lovingly penned by L.A. Meyer. It follows the story of Jacky Faber--the clever (albeit kinda flawed) street urchin in late 1700s England, who disguised herself as a boy and found her way on a man o' war ship. I can't stress how wonderful this series is--as each book ends, another grander one comes out. The books in the series have been named a ALA Best Books for Young Adults; Booklist Editors' Choice, and Bulletin Blue Ribbon Books.

Meyer (not to be confused with Stephanie Meyer, who certinaley doesn't hold a candle to L.A. Meyer's writing skills) is an incredible storyteller. His dialogue is sprighty and the pace of the book is fast-moving--and I'm praying for a movie to come out one day. ^^

Other books you might like are:

-Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

-Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte

-One Whole and Perfect Day

-The Truth About Forever

-Paper Towns

-An Abundance of Katherines

-Les Miserables by Victor Hugo

-Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain



Hope this helped ^^

Answer 8

I agree with 'cutie lucy' about Pretty Little Liars...they are spoiled rich girls but its really about who is scaring them. Its about five best friends and one of the girls disappears. and three years later, they start to get messages from someone know as A who is threatening to tell their secrets. Its by Sara Shepherd if your interested.

Also here is a list of books I read and I liked (a couple might have spoiled rich girls, but it gets better):

-The Boyfriend List by E. Lockhart (one of my favorites)

-Lucky by Rachel Vail (another one of my favorites)

-Freak Show by James St. James (this was kinda starange)

-If We Kiss by Rachel Vail

-24 Girls in 7 Days by Alex Bradley

-Hot Lunch by Alex Bradley

-Sweethearts by Sara Zarr

-Prom by Laurie Halse Anderson

-TTYL by Lauren Myracle (its a series...3 books all together. TTFN is the 2nd and L8R, G8R is the 3rd)

Answer 14

There are so many good books out there, that you will be able to find something to your liking. But here are a few of my favorite books:

Fantasy/Magical:

-A great and terrible beauty by libba bray: its about a girl gemma doyle who lives in victorian england. The story follows her and her friends at a boarding/finishing school for young girls. Gemma discovers that she has the power to enter a parallel world of magic, and she must find out how she is supposed to deal with the responsibility of that power. There is suspense, romance, magic, and evil, all the while dealing with the stress of being a teenage girl. (other books in the trilogy are rebel angels, and the sweet far thing).

-Tithe by holly black: about the magic and realm of faeries in the real world. Kaye discovers the truth about her life when she moves back to new jersey with her mom after an attempt on her mom’s life. This story is more intense, dealing with drugs, and living on the streets. (sequels are valiant, and ironside).

-Inkheart by cornelia funke: about a girl who can read stories to life. And the drama that ensues after she reads a story into the real world. This is a really cute story, more for the younger end of young adult, or older end in childrens. (sequels inkspell and inkdeath).

-Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling

-Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien

Historic:

-Gone with the wind by margaret Mitchell: about Scarlett O’Hara, a young woman living in the south during the civil war. Always the daddy’s girl she soon realizes that in this hard time she can no longer be served and has to struggle to survive. She has to deal with confederate soldiers using her house as a headquarters, and life without service from a group of maids. Deals with her love of a man engaged to another woman, and the lust of rhett butler after her. Amazing, this is my favorite book ever. Its very long but worth the read in every way. (official sequel is Scarlett by Alexandria Ripley).

-Shogun by james clavell: japan during the 1600s. Dealing with the spanish and Portuguese trying to claim domination of the islands. Follows the story of an Dutch sailor as he becomes an important piece of the japanese lords. This is such an amazing story, my second favorite book. (other books in the asian saga are Tai-Pan, Gai-Jin, King Rat, Noble House, Whirlwind)

Classics/Must reads:

-1984 by George Orwell: futuristic totalitarian regime set in (surprise!) 1984. Winston Smith works in the Ministry of Truth and edits accounts and publishes propaganda produces by the ever watchful “Big Brother”.

War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells: aliens land on earth and attempt to destroy the whole world. The book is so much better than the movie with dakota fanning.

-Tree Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin: true story of Greg Mortenson after his failed attempt on K2. He builds schools for young children especially girls. So far he has build over 72!

-Lord of the Flies by William Golding

-into the wild by Jon Krakauer: true story about a young man Chris McClandless and his journey across the united states as he searches for freedom of life, with views similar to thoreau. His trip takes him all the way to alaska, his last crusade so to speak. Krakauer wrote the book after he did a short magazine article on the story of Chris. Recently made into a movie, the movie was nicely done, but the book is still amazing.

-The Thief Lord by cornelia funke: about two brothers who run away to venice after their mother’s death, and live in an abandoned movie theater with other kids. They survive off of the money brought by Scorpio “the thief lord”. Excellent book, worth the read.

-Perks of being a wallflower by Stephen Chbosky: narrated by Charlie a teenage boy as he deals with awkwardness, drug use, sex, abuse. Charlie is shy, and unconventional. The book deals with mature topics.

-Water for elephants by Sara Gruen: about Jacob and his experiences working with the traveling circus as a vet.

-sisterhood of the traveling pants by Ann Brashares

-The Secret life of bees by Sue Monk Kidd

-watership down by richard adams

-The mermaid chair by sure monk kidd
